No Correct Dancers
No Correct Dancers
NO CORRECT DANCERS is dance/theater piece featuring six dancers and performed for six interior audience members inside a 211-square foot space and for hundreds of passer-bys on the street who were able to view the performance through the storefront window just off 8th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan. NO CORRECT DANCERS is an experimental dance/theater exploration involving an overzealous optometrist and the choices between lens A and lens B. Using text as an abstracted vocal score rather than a map for storyline we seek to create and inhabit a world where words are music and dance is the language of communication. We utilize ensemble-based movement, live voice over, song, mini-spectacle, close proximity, the anxiety of visiting the doctor, and the gray space between the definite answer and the absolute unknown. We seek to establish a point of perspective in order to abstract it until it becomes an entirely altered point of view.
